Plan, What Plan?

Things really never go as planned.
I arrived in NOLA Sunday night after a rainy, but uneventful drive. (A radio station I came across through Alabama was having a Sunday Back in the Day Buffett dedicated to hip-hop from the 90's. It helped. This is how we do it!) .
Monday morning I was supposed to meet with community leaders in the morning to discuss stewardship of God's Creation (why people of faith should care about the planet) and then do a home energy audit training in a local parish. Well none of that happened.
I met with my local contact this morning who informed me the community center in which the morning presentation was to take place had sustained some heavy rain damage from Sunday's rain. That plan had to be scrapped. The parish in which the afternoon training was to be held was just closed because of a break out of the flu. So I am left to my own devices for the day, oh to be given a day off in NOLA. What to do?
Go out to lunch, go on a walking tour of the Garden District, meet lots of locals who thanked me for spending my money in town and a few minutes to read my book over a cup of coffee. Stuff is not so bad.
So here is looking at tomorrow. Two home energy audit trainings in local parishes and a conversation about Caring for Creation. Stuff still isn't so bad.
Now to go downstairs and enjoy some of the locally made goat cheese brie and gluten-free crackers I bought today. Stuff really isn't so bad.
